The Stanley Cup Finals didn’t see either team hold so much as a two-goal lead at any point ... until the final five minutes of the deciding Game 6. The Blackhawks got the insurance goal they needed, and stoned the Lightning for the rest of the way to win the Stanley Cup. »6/15/15 10:54pm 6/15/15 10:54pm

Thanks to yet another StubHub seller who is bad at decimal places, a New York Rangers fan was able to purchase a few tickets for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals for $1 each (the purchase came with a $8.20 service fee, but who's complaining?). Unfortunately, this lucky Rangers fan probably won't end up attending any… »6/04/14 11:56am 6/04/14 11:56am

Three out of the four Stanley Cup Finals games have been decided in overtime. The other one was decided by two goals. The Bruins and Blackhawks both have loads of talent, but good fortune's also played a part. »6/22/13 5:55pm 6/22/13 5:55pm

You might not think the people of Panama City, Fla., really like their hockey, but they do. Or at least three of them do. And when they go to the Shoney's in town, expecting to find the finals game on TV and do not? They get mad. They get frugal. »6/20/13 12:53pm 6/20/13 12:53pm

It's not exactly Heidi, but a major blunder by Austin, Tex. NBC affiliate KXAN deprived Lone Star State hockey fans the sudden-death goal that clinched Game 4 for the Blackhawks. »6/19/13 11:45pm 6/19/13 11:45pm

Game 3 actually ended in regulation, a nice change of pace from the first two games, but not before a short scuffle with about 11 seconds left. It looked like it was going to get really ugly for a second, but the refs quickly got control of the action and the game ended without (much) incident. Unless you count… »6/17/13 11:21pm 6/17/13 11:21pm

This is what coaches say, over and over, as overtime stretches into a second overtime stretches into comical exhaustion: just chuck it toward the net, because you never know what can happen. »6/13/13 9:11am 6/13/13 9:11am

There are some things Jaromir Jagr is unmistakably great at. Playing hockey, for instance—which Jagr does especially well, even now, at the age of 41. When he puts his hips out and leans forward, with his body between the defender and the puck, no one can dream of filching possession. He may have been the greatest… »6/11/13 5:45pm 6/11/13 5:45pm

The final goal of Patrick Kane's hat trick sent the Chicago Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Finals and he needed an extra period and a half to do it thanks to Mike Richards. »6/09/13 9:37am 6/09/13 9:37am

The last puck of the Stanley Cup Finals: an important relic, timeless for the player who gets to keep it as a souvenir of the greatest achievement of his profession life, yet strangely secondary. In the rush to celebrate the final horn, not a single member of the Kings gave a thought to that little rubber disc. Not… »6/29/12 11:05am 6/29/12 11:05am

Jonathan Quick was too fast for TV censors today as the goalie's speech at the L.A. Kings' Stanley Cup celebration in Staples Center featured at least three instances of "fuck." »6/14/12 6:45pm 6/14/12 6:45pm

It's the responsibility of the home team's PR staff to compile statistics after each period, then rush print-outs down to both teams' locker rooms. It's not vital information, but it's nice for a coach to be able to quantify things like ice time and shots taken. During Saturday's game 5 in Newark, Devils PR was… »6/11/12 5:31pm 6/11/12 5:31pm
